If I know you directly, either offline or via other media (blog, book, etc.), I’ll follow you on Twitter. If we have some Twitter connections in common, I’ll almost always follow you back if you’re following me. If I don’t know you, and you have an uninformative profile, I may not follow you back. If you’re a marketer/promoter/potential spammer, I probably won’t follow you back and may actively block you from following me.
I rarely tweet via phone or on the weekends, but I’m on and off Twitter during the weekdays. I tweet links to my blog posts, my shared posts from Google Reader, and random observations and personal updates. I re-tweet both on request and at my own discretion. I especially like the conversational aspect of Twitter. I often jump into conversations I’m following – like it or not! – and will usually @reply to anyone who @replies to me.
Facebook
You may as well know I’m not a very good Facebook friend, mainly because I’m rarely there. Most of my updates on Facebook are my own blog posts, which feed into the Notes section of my profile, and I don’t play any of the Facebook games. Still, if you’d like to be Facebook friends anyway, look me up. I accept most friend requests if I know you in person, and I have recently begun adding online friends as well. I occasionally send friend requests based on those “people you may know” suggestions, too.
If you have questions, suggestions, or other feedback on what I’ve got so far, or what you think a Social Media Policy should include generally, let me know in the comments!
